[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I agree that you're allowing yourself to be taken advantage of and it is putting you in jeopardy of never being fully paid.  But, it sounds like you agreed to some level of this when you accepted the position, and it is fitting in w/ whatever your unique schedule needs are.

Perhaps you could talk w/ DB and say that you really are finding it hard to deal with working without being paid for so long.  You assumed it would be for the short-term, as he discussed, but you are now going on several months and are no closer to being caught up.  Ask to work out a plan to gradually catch up if need be, with a specific date to be fully caught up.  Maybe something like "employer will add an addition 3 days to every paycheck, until such time as compensation is fully caught up with time worked, or no later than March 31, 2014."   Or something along those lines.  But give him some deadlines and make it clear that this can't go on forever.  (Unless it can, or you won't actually leave, in which case you should just resign yourself to it.)[/quote]

I would like to broach the subject with DB, however, I feel like it would be pushy. Seeing as we previously discussed this. Also, I know that he is really hard up for money, and it isn't that he likes having to struggle. How can I bring this up without sounding whiny to him?[/quote]

You're sounding whiny to us [/quote]
